Another up and down day today, though the girls seem to have weathered it OK. No tears that I know of. I find the worst part of the day is coming home (no Allie to look forward to) and at night, when I am on the couch where she used to curl up next to me. The girls had a playdate after school and we did it at our house (instead of their friend's house) so that they wouldn't have to put on a brave face at someone else's house.

Tomorrow is Back to School night, which I am looking forward to. I think homework, etc. will start next week.

Still missing the pup immensely. I said goodbye to her as I left the house this morning, as I did every morning. "Bye, Allie! See you tonight. Love you, sweet girl."
